Most of us have likely had the experience of learning something new and then suddenly seeing it everywhere. When a friend spoke about an appliance I hadn’t heard of before, I suddenly saw it in others’ kitchens and heard people raving about it. Or when my book club read about Enneagram personality typing, I started to see various books on the topic and hear numerous people referencing their type. It seemed like there was suddenly an uptick in frequency, but really, my brain was just more aware of instances all around me.
